Personal Milestone

I know it only matters to me but on October 15, 2012, I wore a necklace.  It is a little thing but it has scared me to put one on.  Since the thyroid surgery, everything bothers me, ruffles, material you name it and it seems to give me anxiety.

Sweet Mel and I were looking at necklaces over the weekend, and I just took a breath and put one on.  She was proud, but mentioned that I would have to let go of it.  I couldn't actually wear the necklace holding it up off me, Dang!

So wearing a necklace all day was a really big thing.  I felt a bit overwhelmed a few times, but I survived, and looked kind of cute....I think.

Yeah!

Benign

Is there a nicer word?  I am sure there is but when your choices or malignant or benign, it is an amazingly wonderful, beautiful word.

I finally got the results.  Benign.  It is surprising how you don't even realize that you were holding your breathe, until you breathe again.

I have felt this was going to be okay, but have felt cautious since the first visit to Dr. Steele.  But today there was a lightness & happiness, that has been missing for awhile.  Several months actually.  It is so nice to feel good again, kind of shocking I felt so good.

 There is nothing wrong with that right?

No News is Good News

RIGHT?

I haven't heard from Dr. Steele, so I am believing no news is good news.  Tomorrow may be different but for today this is what I am feeling.

Did 5 hours of work.  (Once I got rid of the migraine I realized I was tired and a bit achy - go figure).
